It is been a few minutes (years) of mostly posting on https://www.facebook.com/rabbi.bruce or other social media sites (Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rabbi.bruce/)
Check out some of what I have been up to on those sites.
I left Amherst College Religious & Spiritual Life after 21 years at the end of the 2023 academic year and am now working on the next chapter of my life journey.
Here are a few pictures from my work over that time (ironically, it is harder to find pictures from recent years than earlier years. Hopefully, I can track down more pictures to add):
Even though it was long before I started at Amherst, an early highlight of my campus experience was giving an invocation before former Israeli Prime Minister spoke at Drew University in 1997 or 1998:
The first thing is, your life isn’t a one-act play.
You probably feel a lot of pressure right now to make the right decisions about your career. It might feel like those decisions are permanent. They’re not. What you do tomorrow—or for the next ten years—does not have to be what you do forever.
When I left school, I thought I would work at Microsoft for the rest of my life.
Today, I still love my work on software, but philanthropy is my full-time job. I spend my days working to create innovations that fight climate change and reduce inequalities around the world—including in health and education.
I feel lucky that our foundation gets to support amazing institutions like NAU—even if it’s not what I imagined I’d be doing when I was 22. Not only is it okay to change your mind or have a second career… it can be a very good thing.
I am embracing this teaching that my life isn't a one-act play. Like Bill, I decided what I wanted to do while I was a college student. I knew during my time leading Franklin & Marshall Hillel that I wanted top be a rabbi and work on campus.
Now, I am looking for new challenges and opportunities to fulfill my next chapter in life. I am open to ideas and networking opportunities.
Please be in touch,
Rabbi Bruce
